Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to the identification of a series of microorganisms involved in the development of acidosis, together with the treatment and / or prevention and / or detection of acidosis in vertebrates, in particular, vaccines, compositions and methods for the treatment and / or prevention and / or detection of acidosis in vertebrates.BACKGROUND ART

[0002] The over production of acid in the gut of an animal by microorganisms can cause fermentative acidosis, wherein is defined as a condition of abnormally high acidity in the gut that can lead to local and systemic acidosis, damage to the integrity of the gut wall and increased pathogenicity of gut bacteria and parasites.

[0003] The introduction of starch, sugars or oligosaccharides into the rumen of ruminant animals and the hind gut (caecum and colon) of ruminant and non-ruminant animals including humans, leads to rapid fermentation and production of volatile fatty acids (VFA). As the rate of VFA production ex...
